The Los Angeles Lakers' stars feel like they need more to compete for a championship this season. On Wednesday, ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania reported LeBron James and Anthony Davis are worried the team has not done enough to be competitive down the stretch.

At 22-18, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves firmly ensconced in the middle tier of the Western Conference pack — they're currently the No. 6 seed, although that could change depending on the result of their Tuesday clash against the 6-35 Washington Wizards.

With weeks to go before the upcoming NBA deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers haven’t made a big splash on the market. Because of that, fans are growing nervous that their team won’t commit to any significant trades.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to make a move before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline, although one reported possibility is not a likely option.

The Lakers approach the trade deadline cautiously, prioritizing smaller moves to address roster gaps while preserving financial and draft flexibility.
